Instructors:

Janet is a PhD student in the department of Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning focusing on the mechanisms required to create resilient landscapes and adaptive societies. Their background is in urban & regional planning, hydrology, and international development. Their dissertation focuses on the planning and implementation roles of regions in the Republic of Cuba. This research integrates Geographic Information Systems (GIS), socio-economic analysis, and environmental science.

This introductory workshop is geared towards social scientists and digital humanitists who have data - spreadsheets, scanned maps, digital photos, etc - that they want to display on a map. We explore these tasks in CARTO, a versatile web mapping and geospatial analysis tool. CARTO is currently used by major news organizations, research institutions, non-profits and geospatial application developers. The workshop will provide an introduction to managing, creating and analyzing geographic data and creating interactive map visualizations for the web, using the CARTO platform.
